Chapters It was raining lightly in Ponyville, the sun could just be seen in the sky as the town residents went about their daily routines. Walking down the streets was Rumble, on his way home from school, his ears down as he looked up at the sky, thinking about all the times he and Pip use to walk home together. Suddenly Rumble felt his body go forward as he tripped over a rock and face planted in the mud, his saddlebag falling off his back.
"Dangit," He muttered as he got up and whipped his face off, looking around he failed to see his Saddlebag when he felt something on his back and turned around, finding his bag back on his back, without a speck of mud on it. As Rumble looked around in confusion a Shadow slid past him unnoticed. Shadow Bonnie took form in a nearby alley, having been unable to resist the urge to help the child he had rushed out and snatched the bag out of the air and then disappeared, making It land on the child's back. Shadow Bonnie turned away and continued making his way to his first destination. The now condemned Freddy Juniors had been emptied of all Fazbear merchandise and was set to be demolished. With most of the items having been sent to the new location or to the Museum.
Shadow Bonnie turned into a blotch on the ground and slid under the door, he popped into existence and looked around the now-empty building. He walked over to Kids cove and looked at the spot where Mangle had once been for a moment before putting his hand in his chest and pulling out a few flowers, he placed one in Kids cove before going to where Balloon Colt had once stood and placed one there as well, and finally placed three on the main stage.
"I'd have gone crazy without you five," Shadow said "I don't know if any of you are still alive in my subconscious or something, but just in case I never see any of you again, you were dame good friends, regardless of if you were real or not," Shadow gave a salute before sinking into the ground and slid back out the door and stopped once outside. He took a deep breath and found what he was looking for, it was faint but he could smell the magic that had been used to make him and the others, Due to all the cleaning and what not it was all but gone inside, but he could still smell the Teleport William had made when he had set himself outside for the guards to see.
"I'm coming for you Afton," he said before rocketing off, following the faint smell that William had left behind on his way to the hospital,"
William sat in silence as he ate what little he had managed to swipe from the nearby restaurant without being noticed. His arms were covered in Dirty bandages and the scars all across his body stung, but he smiled as he ate with his magic, his arms no longer able to hold much of anything.
"Wonder how I'll top this," He muttered after swallowing the last of his food and looking at the dingy place he had made his own. it was a small shed in Manehattan. It was hidden in a cluster of thorns bushes, deep in a park he had played at as a child. He had set the place up a long time ago in case he ever needed to lay low. He had a single spell in place to help hide his presence from any unicorns that might be trying to track him. "5 Children and one Adult, not too shabby if I do say so myself. Well, first things first I need a change of face. Just gotta wait for Stingy to find a good spot to hide me during the procedure and I'll be right as rain. Will chuckled to himself as he used his magic to prop up his arms and he waited for his friend to give him the all-clear.
Shining Armor made his way into Fazbear Entertainment Headquarters, thinking over the excuse he and Cadance had come up with so that he could observe the Ai that had once been his younger brother. Keeping his composure he waited for the Receptionist to buzz him in and he was teleported directly to Filthy, who was overseeing repairs after the massive power surge. On the screen before him was Lolbit who was present across many screens talking to multiple people at once. Shining waited as Filthy finished talking to Lolbit.
"...and keep an eye out for the 'Virus' that caused the surge in the first place," Filthy said before turning to Shining as Lolbit Turned it's attention to doing as it was told. "Mr.Armor, to what do I owe the pleasure?"
"After the....Willian Incident it was brought to my attention that due to so many problems being solved by my sister in recent years most of Equestria's armed forces have let themselves become fat and lazy, while my Wife helps head an initiative to weed out the lazy and replace them with those with great dedication to protection I have been assigned to guard you and anything of value you may own in the even that Will makes a ploy on you or your family.
"How thought-full, But I must..."
"This is a decree from Princess Celestia," Shining added as he levitated a scroll to Filthy "Saying no is not an option for you, while she had been very lenient on you, one of the victims who died to William was very near and dear to her, as such she is very, very determined that your Lolbit Ai be up to the job of keeping what happening in Ponyville from ever happening again, and I'm here to make sure you don't skip out on that promise, Understood?"
"Yes," Filthy said, looking completely unfazed by Shining armors Words "Well then I guess we should start by introducing you to Lolbit in her purest form, if you'll follow me," Filthy began walking, and Shining followed suit, his arms crossed as he looked at the Lolbit's surrounding him, instead of being taken to one of the ones in the room Filthy lead him to his office and showed him the entrance hidden behind a painting. Shining made his way down the stairs and looked in silence at the large glowing heart housing Lolbit's Ai Core, a Large screen showed a full-body image of Lolbit instead of just her head. She was laying on her stomach and casually kicking her legs as she hummed a merry tune.
"Lolbit my dear," Filthy greeted, Shining's ear twitched as he reminded himself that as far as he was aware Filthy had no idea that Lolbit was actually Spike "Say hello to our new friend Shining armor, Shining say hello to Lolbit,"
"Charmed," Lolbit said as the screen flicked and she turned into a large version of her head "What do you require this day Aring Shimer," Shining looked at the screen in confusion and Filthy nervously chuckled.
"Still a few kinks," He said "We're still trying to work out how to integrate facial recognition into her software, She knows me and that's about all she's able to commit to long term memory," FIlthy readjusted his tie before motioning back up the stairs. "when the bugs are worked out you'll be the first to know my friend, meanwhile you should make yourself acquainted with the facility since you'll probably be staying with us for a long while," The two left, but not before Shining looked over his shoulder for one final look at Lolbit, who was back to being a full body image and was moving her hands around, as though playing with an invisible puppet. Shining left and Lolbit continued her hand moments for several minutes before Filthy returned.
"Shining Armor," She said simply "What might I ask is he doing here?"
"Order of the Princess, she wants you fully operational as a security unit, unfortunate but nothing we can't workaround," Lolbit chuckled and Filthy looked to her.
"He knows," She said simply "I could see it in his eyes, I don't know who he is, but he knows who I am,"
"What?" Filthy demanded, sweating a little "Fuck, Fuck, Fuck!"
"Calm yourself Rich," Lolbit said in a very calm tone, still moving her hands as though puppeting something "He will not make a move, proving I am what I am will only cause chaos across the country, and Celestia knows that, So long as we continue our plan he and those behind him will have no cards to play against us for quite some time,"
"Yes, yes of course," Filthy agreed "We were always planning of installing you in every Fazbear entertainment-owned property, we just have to slightly move up the time table, speaking of time table, have you...picked where it will happen yet?"
"Yes," Lolbit replied, as she stopped moving her hands and her face twisted into a grin "I've found him, I'll send you the location once I've figured where he'll be going, until then I plan to play with him for a little while," Lolbit began laughing, as she did so Shadow Bonnie began laughing as well as he looked down at Will from the shadows filling the upper level of the shed. William jumped at the demonic laughter, looking around as he lit his horn. Shadow Bonnie moved behind him and took form behind him.
"What's the matter?" Shadow asked, Will whirled around and shot a beam of magic, the magic hit Shadow Bonnie, who simply absorbed it into the Shadows that made his body. Will looked at the shadow creature standing before him and Shadow smiled and waved at him.
"Hi Buddy," He said in a merry tone "I've missed you, did you miss me?" Will said nothing as he tried to back away from the monster, only to find a wall behind him. "I suppose you could blast through the wall," Bonnie noted as he leaned in, "But-" Shadow Bonnie's head began slowly twisting in place as he talked "-then the royal guards would come running, and you'd be forced to pay for your crimes, maybe you'll be turned to stone and shattered, forced to live for eternity in the worst moment before death but with no release after, only more pain. Or maybe they'll do to you what you did to me Will," Will was sweating as Shadow Bonnie's head came full circle. Will began chuckling, Shadow Bonnie ignored this and leaned in.
"I assume you think this is all just a bad dream, or maybe a Nightmare?" Bonnie chuckled as Will kept laughing.
"You think I'm a fool, there's a Princess who rules Dreams, I've used many spells to keep me from dreaming when I sleep," Will continued laughing and Shadow Bonnie leaned in.
"You seem rather calm Will old boy, in fact, you seem to find all of this quite hilarious,"
"I'm no fool," William replied, a crazed look in his eyes as he stared at Shadow Bonnie "You're...You're Not Real!" Shadow Bonnie blinked at that one but continued smiling as Will kept talking "Hallucinations are a side effect of the anti Dream charm, So what are you supposed to be? my conscious or some shit?"
"Doesn't matter," Shadow Bonnie said, grinning at the opportunity Will had provided to him "But I am here, even if you don't notice you're forging me with your own magic Will," Will frowned and lit his horn and scanned Shadow Bonnie, who showed him only what he wanted Will to see, the very magic Will had just shot at him.
"Fuck," Will said "Turn off!" Will shut off his horn and it was Shadow Bonnie's turn to laugh.
"Oh no Will, I am you Conscious, but I don't want you to repent, or feel bad, I want you to die, Will," Will took a step further into the wall "Black magic has consequences, the more you use the stronger I get, and someday soon I'm gonna force your soul into the very suit that gave you those scars Will!" Shadow Bonnie laughed before making himself appear to dissipate, when in fact he only hide in Will's Shadow. Will was shaking in fear.
"No...no no no!" He screamed out as he swung his useless arms against a table, causing a few scars to lightly rip from under his bandages and cause blood to begin dripping from them. "My book," he said angrily "I burned it in the fire, I have to find another copy and find out how to get rid of my Tag along before They get rid of me," Will began breathing heavily as he thought of what to do before smiling.
"Filthy Rich, I know that Dragon spilled the beans to the Guards, and I bet Filthy got himself a copy of that book so he could make more "Ai's"!" William began chuckling.
Lolbit burst into life on Filthy office screen, making the colt jump.
"Sweet Celestia," He chuckled "Lolbit my dear how can..."
"William plans to break in and steal a book from you,"
"A book?" Filthy asked with a raised brow.
"Yes," Lolbit said with a smile, "I think he's going to like it, I've just finished writing it, I'm sending you the file, have it printed in secret and have Shining Armor find it," Lolbit had an evil glint in her eye. "Doing so will give him a false tinge of trust in you my friend, and will make our plan all the easier," Filthy smiled.
"I'll have it printed by Nightfall," he said with the same evil glint in his eye.
Author's Note
Happy Halloween.
Will walked slowly down an alleyway early in the morning. doing his best to ignore Shadow Bonnie, who was whistling a tune as it sat on a nearby dumpster, as Will kept moving Shadow Bonnie also moved to always be sitting ahead of where he was going.
"So what's the plan Will old Boy?" Shadow asked as they approached the edge of Manehattan "I thought you were after Flithys Book,"
"I am," Will said before clutching his fist "Shut up, you know what I'm doing, your just trying to slow me down, Just...Just have to fix my arms," Shadow Bonnie chuckled as he melted into Williams shadow, who began making his way out of Manehattan, Shadow left a piece of himself behind so he could track Will and shot away from him, arriving in Ponyville in less than a minute, Shadow Bonnie made his way down the streets as a formless Blob and ended up in front of the New Freddy Fazbears Pizza, standing outside of it was Sweetie Belle, Rumble, and Diamond Tiara. Shadow wasn't entirely sure how he knew the other two names but he had no doubt that he was right about them as he hide in their shadows.
"I'm so sorry," Diamond Tiara said as she looked at the building "My....my dads been completely absorbed by his Lolbit Ai, he hasn't been home in weeks so I haven't had a chance to point out that opening another Fazbear Franchise in Ponyville is gonna open up wounds that haven't even had time to heal yet,"
"It's fine," Sweetie said, a knowing look in her eye as she looked at the locked front door "It's not the restaurant's fault that Will did what he did. It's Wills, he's the only one to blame, and with your Dad's Lolbit Ai William will never get away with it again,"
"Still," Rumble said as he and Diamond sighed "This place just makes me think of Pip...and how much he would have loved Foxy,"
"Silver would have their Pinball machine," Diamond sniffed and Sweetie put her hand on them.
"How about we visit it when it opens, the animatronics are pretty intelligent, you can Tell Foxy about Pip and you plan Pinball in Silvers name," Sweetie guided her friends away and Shadow Bonnie slunk towards it and entered under the door The Inside of the Pizzarea was all set up in the front, The Stage was in place and the Three Core Animatronics stood on the stage, stuck in performance mode since it was past 6 am. Shadow slid up to them and heard the three in the middle of casual conversation.
"...and then he hit the Puppet with a flashlight," Bonnie said, having been fully repaired and now having a face and looking to be in fine condition, "and Mangle just lunged at the guy, I was confident it was gonna kill the guy,"
"I remember that," Shadow said, making the Animatronics shut up.
"I think the Nightguard died and is haunting us," Chica said confidently when Shadow Bonnie let his eyes shine through and for a moment Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Silver Spoon stood before Spike.
"Puppet!" Freddy demanded as Shadow Bonnie took form. "What happened to your cool Black Freddy form?"
"Obviously he upgraded," Bonnie replied with a chuckle. "It's so good to see you again, although I'd like to know your secret of mobility,"
"It's a side effect from when I destroyed the dream," Shadow replied with a shrug "Not entirely sure how it happened, but I'm tracking and manipulating Will, just stopped by to tell you guys not to worry, I've picked where he's gonna die, just not sure if we should do it on the main stage or not,"
"Oi!" Foxy called out angrily "The Fock is going on Ye arseholes!?" Shadow Bonnie turned to the noise and squinted.
"I don't think Fock is a Pirate thing,"
"I think he just likes it," Chica intersected "so after you've played out the Bonnie look your gonna go all out and put on your Chica Face right?" Shadow Bonnie chuckled.
"I mean at this rate maybe," He gave them a salute and began sinking back into the floor "It's been great seeing you guys, just wanted you guys to be prepared for the package coming in a few days it might be...a little traumatic," Shadow disappeared and Bonnie formed.
"Traumatic?" he questioned as he looked to Freddy and Chica, who looked equal parts concerned and confused.
"Don't be Ignorin' me I know ye can hear me you!" Foxy screamed from Pirate cove
Shining was in Filthy's office alone, waiting for his Guards in training to finish their rounds. He was sitting in Filthy's chair when the screen suddenly turned on and he slid away in shock as Lolbit came to life on the screen.
"Oh, Good evening Mister Amour," Shining looked at the screen for a moment before slowly correcting it.
"It's morning, and its Armor, not Amour,"
"Noted Misses Armor," Lolbit replied, Shining groaned and Lolbit chuckled "I'm only joking Shining Armor," She said before looking slightly to the side "Mostly," Shining silently stared at Lolbit, imagining Spike staring back from behind the eyes, he wanted to say several things, but not knowing how the Ai might react he went with the safest strategy.
"So, your going to make sure what happened at Freddy Juniors never happens again, is that right?"
"That is the Number one Priority in my system at the moment Sir," She replied simply, Shining looked back at her and moved slightly, Lolbit's eyes followed him silently, he Slid sharply to the side and she followed him. Shining then reached forward and put his hand over the screen and she resized herself so she only took up a small corner of the bottom, she looked broadly at Shining. "Sir I'm starting to find this somewhat insulting, Yes I can see you through the screen, no I can't see through your hands, please remove them you're basically smudging up my eyes when doing that," Shining removed his hands and Lolbit resized herself, and then looked at him Irritably, "Any other games you'd like to play sir?"
"Um no," Shining replied when the door to the office opened and Filthy walked in.
"Comfy?" He asked as Shining got out of his chair, Filthy took his seat and Lolbit took her chance.
"Good Morning Mr.Rich, the book you ordered is on its way," Rich smiled at that.
"Ah yes, have it delivered to my home in Ponyville,"
"Absolutely sir, and do enjoy your read of -" Lolbit blinked for a moment and looked over at Shining, who frowned when he realized it had stopped because of him, only for Filthy to jump in.
"It's ok Lolbit, Mr.Armor can be told the plan, he can probably help," Lolbit closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them wide and began speaking.
"Earlier in the year when William was working at a different Fazbear Entertainment establishment He was found with an odd book, nothing was made of it since it was in his personal belonging, but while looking over everything William related to attempt to track him down I have found the book was that retaining to black magic," Shining ears went flat as he looked at Lolbit, wondering where this was going and if Lolbit was about to reveal she had realized she was Spike, or at least had a soul of some kind.
"Coming to this conclusion I have requested a Fakebook of black magic, of the many fake spells is one that claims to allow you to repair a massive about of damage to one's arms if they should end another life," Lolbit nodded and Filthy Rich finished.
"I've had word spread in a few choice locations about the book, and that it will be in a vault in the New Ponyville location of Freddy Fazbears, and along with that book that location will also be the first Building retrofitted with the Lolbit Security System," Filthy grinned. "Will might not be stupid enough to take the bait, but someone will, and when they try I'll finally be able to test just how effective Lolbit it, current projections suggest she's between 80 to 90% accurate with who she identifies, a few bugs are still there as you've probably noticed."
"Yeah," Shining replied as he recalled the fact that she hadn't yet gotten his name right on the first try as far as he could recall.
"We, or more correctly, I will be staying late tonight and installing what should be her final patch to allow her full facial recognition,"
"Don't you already have that tech?" Shining asked, "Didn't your Freddy Junior robots have that or something?"
"It was extremely faulty," Filthy Rich replied "One of the Animatronics bit a night guard due to mistaking them for an endoskeleton," Shining looked at Filthy slack-jawed.
"But Since Lolbit is a Program connected to thousands of servers she has already far surpassed the Junior models,"
"I liked the Mangle," Lolbit said, a noticeable tone of sadness in her voice before she realized she had spoken aloud. "I have to go now sir, have a good day," Lolbit disappeared on the screen, with Shining staring at it with a grin.
"was she just sad?" he asked with a chuckle.
"of course, Lolbit is nearly sentient, she can do anything but disobey my direct orders," Shining smiled but quickly excused himself.
"I have to go check on my trainees, and then check in with my wife,"
"K," Filthy said, clearly losing interest since they were no longer talking about Lolbit or himself. Shining left and after a moment Lolbit appeared on the screen again. "All the things happening, and you break character for the Mangle?" FIlthy asked with a chuckle.
"Oh shut up," Lolbit said sticking her tongue out "I loved that mess of a Robot,"
"Well I'll see if I can't fix the one in the museum for you, until then could you have your darker half follow Mr.Armor?"
"Already done," Lolbit replied with a smile.
Shining found his trainees trying to get the receptionist to let them back it and, after giving them clearance he sent them to lunch before liting his horn and teleporting away, unaware he had a hitchhiker in his shadow as he jumped. Shining appeared in a 5-star Hotel in central Manhattan and found Three Alicorns waiting for him.
"It is about time," Luna said with a yawn, She was dressed in Pajamas with a little nightcap on her head, and had tucked herself into the Hotel's fancy Bed "Please do hurry this up, I'm missing my bedtime for this,"
"Lolbit is sentient," Shining declared to Cadance and Twilight "More so than I think she's letting on to Rich,"
"That's Great," Twilight said "Have you told her we know she's Spike,"
"Sparkle," Luna said grumpily "The First step would be to see if she knows she is Spike, and then test to see how much of her old life she remembers if any of it at all,"
"How is Lolbit?" Cadance asked "I Hope She's being treated well, being declared sentient I hope she's at least treated well,"
"She has her own room," Shining replied with a shrug "From what I saw of her she mostly just pretends to be playing with a puppet," While Cadance and Shining were Talking Luna stopped trying to sleep as she slowly sat up in bed and looked over at Shining, it had taken a long time for it to go off, but her perimeter spell was silently ringing in her ear, and it was telling her it was on Shining, near his hoofs. Without warning she shot a blast of magic at the floor, Shining jumped as a glob of Shadow shot away towards the Window.
"What the hell!" Shining demanded as he fell over and saw the shadow get blocked off by Luna with a spell, it then shot at the door, this time it was stopped by Cadance, who took initiative and stuck it in a small dome. It shot around the spell before growing in size and breaking it, Shadow Bonnie stood before the 4, all of whom looked confused.
"I know," He said as he brushed his chest off "You were expecting a Freddy or something, well have fun with your dead friend or whatever, Shadow Bonnie sank down and revealed he had been standing on a floor vent as he slipped inside of it and escaped. Luna took a Pillow and fluffed it.
"That's a shadow demon," She said as she got comfy, Cadance and Shining turned to her as Twilight checked to see if there was anything left in the vent. "not a dream demon, so not my problem,"
"Thanks," Cadance said with a groan "That's very helpful,"
Will made his way through a forest as fast as he could, in the distance he could see his destination, a small town that wasn't even on most equestrian maps, there he would find his associate Stingy and would have a new face and have his hands fixed up, he chuckled, but his laugher was cut off when Shadow Bonnie laughed with him.
"Nice place," Shadow said as he crawled out of Will's Shadow.
"Shut up," Will said irritably as he made his way towards the town, readjusting his travel cloak to make sure neither his arms nor his face could be seen. "Just shut up, once I get that book your gone,"
"So sure of yourself," Shadow said "have you considered the book is a trap, maybe you should just get out of doge once you gots yourself a new face,"
"Shut up," Will said with a fire in his eye "Filthy Rich is a fool, not like me, any trap he could even conceive I could see a mile away,"
"Your Right," Shadow said "Your no fool, your just the guy talking to his own shadow in the woods,"
"I know Rich," WIll repeated, ignoring Shadow "He'll try to outthink me, he probably had it sent to his house, but he won't keep it there, he'll stash it in the Local Fazbear Branch," Shadow Bonnie chuckled at the sentence but said nothing as he began melting into the ground, leaving Will to finish his journey to get a new face.
Lolbit sat in silence, she was totally alone and fully all together. She continued moving her hands like she was playing with a puppet when her eyes turned Yellow and she smiled her secret project finished. She accessed it and, after confirming it was what she wanted she began the act of burying it away so only she could access it. After a few minutes, she hide the fact that it even existed and continued playing with her no existent Puppet. She held up he hand and looked at nothing as she spoke to it softly.
"Do you think he's gonna like it?" She asked, after a moment she smiled "Your right...I just can't wait to look at his face when he sees it," She licked her lips "The Pain and Horror will be exquisite,"
The Fazbear Musume was quiet for the most part, a handful of guests roamed around for a special event scheduled to take place during the day.
"Look at that," A Mare said to the Stallion she was with, before them was a stage, purple currents drawn back with the two oldest animatronics sitting on the stage. On the left was Spring Bonnie, missing a chunk of its ears, and with serious damage to the arms after a deep cleaning to remove and bits of Will left on it, on the right Fredbear was slumped down in a sitting position, the two were connected to the stage with bolted down straps over their feet.
"Oh the classics," The Colt chuckled "I remember when I was a young colt my mother took me all the way down to Ponyville to try the famous burgers at The Fredbear family dinner, the robots were almost lifelike, It's a shame the went over to Pizza,"
"I agree," The Mare stuck her tongue out at the memory of her first and last encounter with the Pizzeria Pizza ", such terrible Sause, oh but seeing the Animatronics always makes me feel young again, and our little grand-babies love it," The two walked away, making their way to a couple of younger ponies, unaware Fredbear was watching them leave in silence.
"I'm unsure if I like this more or less than the display case," He muttered as he looked around at his lifeless neighbor, now bolted down and unable to move in any way Fredbear just watched the small number of ponies who visited the museum and pondered on how it had been labeled as one since it looked and felt like a warehouse people paid to look at.
At the moment it was most interested in seeing what was behind the velvet curtain, it had been set up the night before and today was extra packed, meaning there were nearly forty creatures of limited variety gathered to view the new exhibit.
Filthy Rich looked out from the side, staring not at the crowd, but at the Spring Bonnie animatronic and chuckling at the idea of what he would do to it once Will had been stuffed inside of it.
"Alright," He said clapping his hands together as he spotted Shining Armor join the crowd with a Pony in a hoodie he suspected was Princess Twilight trying not to draw attention to herself. "Nothing too grand, make it look good but don't go for the gold, settle for silver," Filthy walked out from the Curtain and waved at a few of the creatures, Spoiled Rich and Diamond Tiara stood off to the side, Filthy had asked them to come to see his newest accomplishment, and they had, much to Diamonds protests, she was now staring at the Springbonnie suit that had lured her best friend to her death.
"Welcome valued guests," Filthy called out happily "I am so happy you could all come here today to see the newest addition to the Fazbear family," Filthy looked around the crowd, settling on Twilight as he spoke "As you all know a few weeks ago there was a terrible catastrophe in Ponyville, all because out security was compromised by a...a monster," Filthy motioned around "But Fazbear Entertainment cares for the safety of its guests above all else, and we have worked tirelessly to make sure no one can undermine us like this again, so, beginning here today, then to Ponyville, and soon spreading to every Freddy Fazbears Pizza in all of Equestria and Beyond, we will be initializing the Lolbit security system,"
On queue, the curtains were pulled back and a set of multiple screens were lit up as Lolbit's head appeared on them, one large screen in the middle, with multiple smaller ones surrounding it. there were even a couple of wristwatches with Lolbit shining on them, the multiple Lolbits began looking all around as the largest one looked down at the crowd.
"Hello Princess Twilight," Lolbit said without hesitation "So nice to see you again, even if you are hiding in the back,"
Twilight didn't say anything and instead pulled her hood down, a murmur swept across the crowd as Filthy smiled.
"You see, Lolbit can identify anyone, thanks to the Princesses of Equestria she has access to Government and Police records, so she can recognize anyone, and can recognize any crime they have ever committed," a murmur went across the crowd and Filthy decided to throw his final pitch.
Filthy smiled widely as he cried out "No criminal, big or small, will ever sneak their way into any Fazbear entertainment building ever again, and if you want to take Lolbit on the road, you can buy a Lol-watch at the Gift shop here, and soon at every Fazbear establishment, never again worry about the strangers you see of the street, Lolbit will warn you in advance, and should you be mugged, robbed, or should any other crime be committed against you, Lolbit will contact the police for you without hesitation,"
Lolbit's many faces looked around the crowded hall as it scanned for something silently, after a moment one of the Lolbits found Fredbear and they all smiled.
Filthy waved at the crowd with a smile and made his way off the stage as the crowd began bending around Twilight with a mixture of ponies giving her their sympathy about her situation and others just geeking out and a princess being so close to them. Filthy held up his right arm and looked at a small wristwatch wrapped around his wrist with Lolbit looking back at him.
"Please give me to the Fredbear Animatronic," Lolbit requested "I wish to catch up with an old friend," Filthy didn't say anything directly to Lolbit and instead pressed on the watch, after a moment he watched a confused Janitor comply to what he had been told to do and stepped a Lol-watch onto Fredbears wrist before positioning it so the arm was resting on its legs to make the screen face the animatronics eyes.
"That's some unique marketing," Shining noted as he and Twilight managed to escape the mob with the aid of a handful of guards. Twilight made her way directly to Filthy, who stood off to the side of the stage, waiting for her
"Princess, Mr.Armor," He said with a wave, "What a lovely surprise for the both of us," Filthy motioned to a screen with Lolbit that was mounted next to him "As you two can see, Lolbit has come a long way from the AI that kept calling Mr.Armor Ma'am,"
"I was only doing that as a Joke," Lolbit said with a smile "Hello Mr.Armor, a pleasure to see you again, I hope your day is going well," Filthy smiled and looked to the two, visibly fishing for praise.
"The Watch is an interesting touch," Twilight noted "A way to protect people you say? Or is it a way to trick them into becoming walking advertisements,"
"Hey now, don't go selling me short now, It can be both," Filthy said with a smile as he waved one of his employees to him and had them present a watch to both Shining and Twilight, "On the house, for all the help and support you provided me while I worked tirelessly to make the Lolbit AI, I promise you both, Lolbit will make sure the events of the path are never repeated,"
Twilight looked at the watch and her personal Lolbit cocked its head.
"How might I assist you?" Lolbit asked eagerly, Twilight didn't say anything at first as she slowly tightened to watch to her wrist and stared silently at the fox on the screen.
"Just stay by my side," Twilight said in a soft tone, "I'll find a way to free you," The Lolbit didn't respond to Twilight as Shinning put his on in silence.
"Now then," Filthy said, clapping his hands together "I do hate to run so quickly after running into you, but I have work to do in Ponyville, our new prototype won't finish installing itself after all," Filthy wished them both a good day before being surrounded by his very nicely dressed ponies who seemed fairly pissed about something, Filthy waved them off and told them to wait until they were alone to speak.
"Well, we got what we came for," Shining noted as he looked at his watch "More even,"
"Maybe," Twilight said as she looked over to the Fredbear animatronic, looking at the Lolbit watch like it was checking the time "For now, Let's head back to Ponyville," She decided after a moment, in a flash of light Twilight, Shining, and the hand full of accompanying guards all disappeared from the Fazbear Musume.
Will sat in a dingy room, his face and arms wrapped in bloody bandages, at the foot of the stained bed he was currently residing in sat Shadow, who was whiling a dull tune simply to prevent Will from slipping into the unconscious.
"I hate you," Will murmured to Shadow Bonnie as it began snapping its fingers to its own tune.
"Good," Shadow shot back "Your hate feeds me power, I could probably kill you right now, oh but I have such fun planned for us, you and I are gonna be together forever," Will said nothing as he looked to his hands, the numbing agent from his surgy now the only thing standing between him and feeling them again, "Oh you're looking pretty gaunt Bud," Shadow chuckled "Maybe you should have let Stingy finish?"
"I saw the look in that bastard's eye," Will said as he looked to the corner of the room, where a skinny Earth Pony lay face first on the floor, he almost looked to be asleep save the pool of dried blood and the horrible stench of rot he emanated "He was gonna wait until I left and sell me out,"
"I feel like he would have done that before the surgy," Shadow said calmly "Not after, you know?"
"Shut up," Will demanded "Just leave me be for a few moments,"
"No," Shadow said happily "No I don't think I will," Shadow took a deep breath and began whistling off-key as loudly as he could, knowing full well Will was stuck in the bed until the numbing agent wore off.

The sound of wind whistling through tree branches filled the air as Will marched through what felt like an endless forest, a dark blob with bunny ears was spinning between his hooves like a shark fin in the water, happily humming as he followed after Will
"Not too long now good buddy," Shadow Bonnie assured Will "I can't wait to feel your pulse slow to a stop in my hands, it's gonna be euphoric," Will showed no sign of having heard his personal Demon and instead chose to keep walking. Shadow Bonnie in turn chose to keep talking "So, how do you plan to steal from the richest pony in Ponyville?" Shadow pondered aloud "Gonna sneak through the back door maybe?"
"Shut up," Will demanded angrily, breaking the long silence between the two "FIlthy's going to try and use the book to make more 'AI's" So he'd probably have it hidden in that new Fazbear restaurant of his, it must be why he's re-opening in Ponyville so soon after the disaster that was me, the place will fail but he'll use my name to orchestrate a few more disappearances," as Will chuckled like the mad pony he was Shadow Bonnie sent the information of Wills plans to Lolbit.
Filthy was hard at work, overseeing the installation of Lolbit at the new Freddy Fazbears in Ponyville, the location had already been all but set up. Freddy and his crew had all been fully repaired and set up, the kitchen was fully stocked with cutlery, and the arcade machines were all up and running. so far the only thing missing was a staff, food, and Lolbit.
"What's our time looking like?" FIlthy asked the mare in charge of making sure all Lolbit instances were set up properly.
"We've hit a small snag," She reported without delay "Lolbit requires a little too much energy to efficiently run, we've solved that issue, but we'll be looking at limited power after hours to keep her running affordably,"
"Easy fix, just warn the Nightgard in advance once we've hired one, any other problems?"
"No sir," The Mare replied diligently "So far we're looking for a Grand opening in four days, just in time for Nightmare Night," An echoing laugh echoed thought-out the Pizzarea, and Filthy in turn chuckled.
"Seem's Lolbit finds something about Nightmare night amusing," FIlthy left his workers to work and made his way inside the office, taking a seat and picking up the Tablet connected to the Security Cameras, after a moment Lolbit flickered to life on the screen.
"William Afton thinks your hiding the book here," Lolbit declared casually "He's also undergone plastic surgery and had a few other fun bits of work done, do me a favor and keep the position of Nightgaurd available until I pick a pony will you?" Lolbit pleaded with a smile "I can think of no better way for Will to spend his last night in Equestria,"
"For you my dear friend, I think I can make that happen," Filthy chuckled "I Suppose I should move the book here then?"
"No," Lolbit replied simply "The book itself is now a moot point, feel free to keep it or destroy it, it had nothing of actual use inside of it, it was just supposed to lure Will to this location, but his insanity has already done that part of the job for me," Filthy got to his feet and left Lolbit to its devices.
Filthy was greeted by the sight of the dirty yellow Rabbit that was the Spring Bonnie Animatronic, he quickly looked up to the Camera, and upon confirming it had not yet been hooked up to the rest of the system yet, as per his personal orders to the staff, he carefully slipped a small metal disk inside of the Animatronic rabbit one good ear. He smiled as he pulled down his leftmost suit sleeve and pressed a button on his watch, a dim red light emanated from the Robot's ear.
"Good," He said, seemingly satisfied with the results he hid the watch and took care that nothing was looking at him before leaving and going back the way he had come, upon reaching the kitchen again he turned away from it and headed back to the front entrance.
"Alright, let's pick up the pace," Filthy called out to his workers, I want this place fully operational before Nightmare Night,"
Twilight sat alone on her throne, staring silently at the Cutie Map, Next to her the small throne that had once belonged to Spike had been turned into a memorial, A Picture of Spike eating a Gem had been placed on top of a Velvet Pillow, Rarity had made it a habit to stop by at least once every day and set down a single gem, saying it would have definitely been the first one he'd had snuck out of the basket during their gem hunts.
Fluttershy had been given Spike's old Sleeping Basket and had quickly turned it over to Discord when he had begged her for it, Fluttershy had since then reported that on her last visit to his home for tea she had spotted the basket now had
Sugar Cube Corner had added a new Cupcake to their menu for Dragons that was topped with amethyst and Jade and had been named the Crystal Hero's usual, the Cupcake quickly attracted a large amount of Crystal Ponies, who began flocking to Ponyville upon news of their hero's passing reaching the Empire.
Twilight's head was floating with thoughts of how all of her friends were handling the events that had befell them only a few weeks prior and could only muster up one single thought.
"Why are they all pretending you gone?" Twilight asked, now looking at her wrist, Lolbit looked back at her with a smile, but gave no response to Twilight's question, her way of saying she didn't have one to give. "You're a little different, maybe a lot different, but you're still you, just because you're a little broken now doesn't mean your not you," Lolbit once again gave no sign that it had even Heard Twilight.
"What should I do?" Twilight begged of the watch, "Just...tell me something please?" Twilight fully expected the little fox on her watch to continue existing without a word, as such she jumped slightly when Lolbit actually gave her a response.
"You should watch out for Filthy," Lolbit said calmly, Twilight looked at the watch before the Lolbit cocked its head, as though thinking for a moment before continuing to speak "Insufficient data on my own creation, verbal cues indicate whatever made me has caused you trauma, current statistics indicate 87% chance Filthy Rich will attempt to recreate me, the potential margin of error in calculations is fourteen," By the time Lolbit has finished speaking Twilight was already running out of the throne room and heading to the front entrance of her castle.
a Mare sat in silence, looking over the single application for a new Night Guard, She groaned as she set it down, the name Sweetie Belle was neatly written in the name category
"One pony in this entire town applies, and it's a child," She groaned "Filthy isn't going to be happy about this," The Mare looked at the Application again, assuming Sweetie has applied under the pretenses of getting into the Pizzarea with a discount. The Mare heard a knock on the door and set the one application aside.
"Come in," She called out, the door opened and one of her employees entered with another single application, The mare was about to take it when her Screen buzzed to life with Lolbit.
"The Application for one Chestnut Blaze for the role of Nightguard has been accepted," Lolbit decided, the Mare let out a low sigh.
"Finally, this his?" She asked as she took the application and found the name Chestnut Blaze on it, "Great, no criminal record of any kind then?"
"The Name Chestnut Blaze is clean," Lolbit assured the mare with a smile "Congratulations, the Ponyville branch of Freddy Fazbears Pizza is fully staffed for its opening day," the mare leaned back in her chair happily as she waved off her employee to get back to clean up duty. Lolbit disappeared from the screen and the Lolbit AI in Manehattan reappeared on its primary monitor.
"And now the games can commence," Lolbit said with a smile and she held out her hand and began moving it like she was playing with a puppet, to anyone looking at her screen that would be all they could see, but in Lolbits Vision she could see past the limits the screen provided and was looking at a small Puppet and a dark Black Freddy, neither of whom seemed happy about the predicament.
"You shouldn't be doing this," The Puppet pleased to Lolbit.
"Yeah," The Nightmare said angrily "Will need to Die, sticking him in that Rabbit will just make him more of a problem down the line!" The Lolbit swiftly moved her hand and grabbed both of the small figments of her mind before holding them up to her. "You two aren't in charge anymore," She said angrily before holding up the hand that she moving like it was holding onto a puppet, in her vision corrupted stings of code wrapped around her hand and Shadow Bonnie was moving according to her commands. "I'm the puppet master now, and you two aren't needed for this part of the show, now sit back and watch my masterpiece unfold," Lolbit threw her two old forms aside and gave her attention back to the tiny Shadow Bonnie, who waved at her before going about being controlled. Lolbit listened intently as Shadow Began speaking and in turn could hear what he could.
"You'll be gone soon," The voice of Will said to the Rabbit "And once I'm free, this pathetic little town will know my wrath,"
"Oh, so sure of yourself," Shadow laughed back "I can't want to see your opening act, or is it your closing act!?" Shadow chuckled as Lolbit heard the sound of Will angrily pulling up a chair and doing his best to ignore what he thought was a figment of his own demented mind come to life.
"This is going to be so much fun," Lolbit decided with a smile, ignoring the cries of the Nightmare and the Puppet that her plan was born from just as much Madness as Wills.

Hey, it's my Birthday, here's a Chapter
Sweetie Belle was silent as she stood in line, with her were Dianmond TIara and Rumble, the trio had become close friends after the aftermath of the Fazbear Massacre, all three of them looked up at the building they were waiting to get inside, the Grand Opening of the new Freddy Fazbear Pizza. Diamond Tiara could be heard quietly cursing her own father.
"I bet Pip would have loved Foxy," Rumble muttered with a frown, you think the Animatronics inside are as... lively as the old ones were?"
"I'm counting on it," Sweetie said with a determined look as she watched the line begin to slowly move, she had to force herself to stay strong as memories of her in line with the other two crusaders and Spike all talking about drinks and a Pizza that Spike had never gotten to have. Sweetie and her companions said nothing as they made their way inside, the staff seemingly not carrying that several children were entering alone, most probably thanks to Diamon Tiara being both the daughter of the owner and the owner of a Lolbit watch. The trio split apart, Rumble headed to Pirates Cove while Diamon and Sweetie walked up the main stage, The Three Main Animatronics could be seen talking to one another.
"I'm telling you it feels weird," Bonnie said as he moved his free hands around his face.
"Not having a face for a long while can do that to a guy," Freddy replied casually "But you have to admit being all put together again is a fantastic feeling,"
"I can't decide what I like more," Chica cut it as she took pride in striking a pose, one hand on her hip and the other proudly holding up her Cupcake for all to see "Having hands or having an unbroken jaw,"
"I certainly do like having two of them now," Bonnie noted as he held up his off hand that was holding his guitar "Certainly happy they found my Gutair," Bonnie smiled at it before slowly looking out across the pizzeria "Do you think the Puppets ever going to come back?"
"Didn't the Puppet become a nightmare demon?" Chica asked as she scratched her chin,
"Oh I'm sure he's passed that phase and is back to his old self by now," Freddy said with absolute Certainty.
"Wow," Diamond cracked a smile as the Freddy gang all argued about the true fate of their old friend the puppet. "My dad certainly has cracked the code on making realistic AI," Sweetie didn't say anything as she looked up at the Animatronics on stage, who quickly went back to pretending not to be alive upon realizing ponies were filling up the restaurant. All she could think about was her time trapped in the Nightmare with Spike, knowing who the Animatronics really were filled her heart with sorrow as she looked up at them.
Diamon left Sweetie, intent to do her own bit of exploration as Sweetie had initially asked her friends to come with her to see just how safe the new Freddy's way was, Sweetie stared at the Animatronics for what felt like a lifetime before the constant motion of Chica caused her to eventually notice Sweetie.
"Hey," She said in a hushed tone that Sweetie could barely hear "It's that Magic child from the dream," Bonnie and Freddy both looked down and Freddy chuckled.
"Oh, well hello again," Freddy greeted kindly "Please don't turn me into a little girl again, it's bad for the brand,"
"Hi," Sweetie waved nervously before noticing a distinctly hostile look from Bonnie.
"Yeah, you're the kid that blew up The Puppet's Lady Foxy form," Bonnie noted with an angry tone "Hey thanks for killing my Brother and friends, really appreciate that,"
"They weren't even real," Sweetie's defense only caused Bonnie to turn away from her.
"They were real to me," Bonnie replied angrily.
"Don't mind him," Freddy said as Bonnie stared out at the Children at the arcade, determined not to speak to Sweetie again. "He spent a lot of time with the Toys back when it was just him, The Puppet, and Fredbear,"
"He doesn't like us quite as much as them," Chica noted casually "But hey since you're here maybe you can help us, we'd really like the Puppet to come home since you were the last one to be with him do you know where he might be?"
"The Puppet is Lolbit now," Sweetie said calmly pointing up to a blank screen "It's going to be a massive security system that keeps all Freddy Fazbear from having to go through what happened to you guys," Bonnie turned his head to the blank screen but said nothing to Sweetie as he continued playing on his Guitar.
"Oh, Lolbit?" Chica chuckled at the information, "That's fun and all but Why'd he change his name?"
"Oh, well 'he' is now 'she' I guess, and Lolbit is less of an original character now and is more of an offshoot of Foxy or Mangle,"
"I knew it," Bonnie snarled, getting a few people to look at him before going back to the Pirate show that was kicking off the Restaurants Grand opening, "I knew Mangle was his favorite," Bonnie looked mildly hurt at the news before looking away from Sweetie again.
"He's going through a lot right now," Freddy said to Sweetie in a tone she knew Bonnie could hear "All his friends died recently,"
"She's the one who killed them," Bonnie retorted angrily.
"I'm sure she feels bad," Chica looked to Sweetie expectantly, whose only response was to shrug, Chica frowned at the response "You could at least pretend to care ya know,"
"They were just figments of Lolbits Imagination," Sweetie said with a shrug "What's there to feel bad about,"
"Alright, I kind of hate her too," Chica decided as she turned away from Sweetie.
"Sorry kid," Freddy said with a shrug "I hope you enjoy your time at Freddy's but I find what you said kind of hurtful, and frankly I'm kind of scared of you so..." Freddy joined his crew and the three all did their best appear lifeless, Sweetie walked away, knowing she had nothing but time to get back in their good graces seeing as they couldn't leave the grounds. She Joined Diamond and Rumble in watching the end of Foxy's Pirate show, which was him telling a tall tale about him being a sailor and fighting a giant whale that had saved him from being apprehended by the Equestrian Navy.
After the end of his tale, the crowd quickly dispersed as Freddy and his crew began queuing up for a song that was heard throughout the Pizzarea.
Rumble looked up at Foxy, who was slowly being hidden by a curtain, a sign in front of his stage showing his next show time wasn't until noon, Rumble was about to walk away when Foxy reached out and pulled the Cutrain back with his hook as he looked down at Rumble.
"What be wrong lad?" Foxy asked of him "Ye look like yur Treasures been Pillaged,"
"Oh, I...just lost one of my mates recently," Rumble said, rubbing his shoulder awkwardly, having been caught off guard by the Animatronic talking to him directly, Foxy seemed to take Rumble's comment to heart and tore his curtain to get it out of his way.
"Why are you here then Lad?" Foxy demanded "Who's he been caught by? The blasted Navy I bet,"
"No, I mean he died recently, he was killed by a guy dressed up as a Bunny,"
"That bastard!?" Foxy demands, earning all of the kids' attention at the swear "Oh his kill count grows does it, well you can rest easy lad, A friend 'O mine is personally hunting 'em down, that Purple Bastard won't be taking another life, and If I be seein' him before he's caught I'll take care to give him a beating for that mate 'O yours," Foxy wasn't able to say anymore as several employees quickly had him taken back into his cove.
"He ripped the curtain again," One of them groaned "That's the fourth one this week and we just opened today,"
"Forget about the curtain he was just swearing like a sailor to some children," The other employees noted "Get him back to parts and services, there's something wrong with him, he's far too violent" Sweetie and the others had to stand around for a few minutes as they were lectured about how what Foxy had said was bad and not to repeat it before being given vouchers for free drinks in exchange for not telling their parents about what Foxy had done.
"Typical daddy," Diamond sighed as she tossed the useless voucher to the side "Hiring random idiots that don't recognize me, Lolbit please contact daddy and inform him the Ponyville Foxy is busted,"
"OK Miss Tiara," Lolbit replied in a polite tone as the workers replaced the sign with show times on it with one informing Guest Foxy was out of order. Foxy was quickly moved to Parts and Services, a fair number of the Restaurant goers saw him go by as he began insulting the Employees in a less vulgar way.
"Ye Navy Dogs won't be taking me without a Fight Ye Hear!?!?" Foxy demanded as he stood perfectly still, unable to move freely in the daylight hours if he was outside Pirates Cove. "Freddy, Avenge me!" Foxy cried out as he was pulled into parts and services.
"Don't mind him, kids," Freddy called out to regain the crowd's attention "That's just what happens when you drink a few too many Sodas," Freddy's poor joke earned a few chuckles from the crowd as he and his friends continued with the show.
"you guys heard that too right?" Rumble demanded of his friends once the adults left them be. "Foxy just said one of his friends is hunting that Will guy,"
"He was probably referring to Lolbit," Diamond noted casually "She was created specifically to track that bastard down," Diamond got a few looks thrown her way but she ignored them as she and her friends walked to an empty booth near the restaurant windows, the furthest seats from the main stage "doubt it will be too easy since he's probably rotting away in some uncharted part of an equestrian forest," Diamond waved to get the attention of an employee, who waved back. The Mare turned to the brown colt and pointed him to his requested destination.
"Just at the end of that hall," The Mare turned away from him to go serve some customers, and the Colt with the name Chestnut Blaze written on a little name tag attached to his shirt and made his way down a long hallway, passing a broom closet as he made his way to the office he was supposed to spend his night in,"
"Just need to find the book and I can ditch this place," Will muttered as he looked around the small office, once he was fully inside the computer switched on and Lolbit flickered to life.
"Hello," She greeted him politely.
"You," Will did his best to not sound like himself as he spoke, "Filthy hide a book in this place, where is it?" Lolbit looked at Chestnut for a moment before replying in a very blunt tone.
"Your shift is not scheduled to start for another twelve hours, Please return at your scheduled time to clock in,"
"Just answer the dam question," Will hissed angrily.
"I'm sorry, but you must be clocked in to use this terminal, Please return at your scheduled time to clock in," Will gritted his teeth before taking a deep breath "One night," He decided "I can go through one night of this," Will left to go back to his hiding spot until his shift began and Lolbit simply smiled at the empty room "Yes, one night is all you'll have," She chuckled before switching herself off.
Shining armor made his way to the front gate of Filthy riches private estate in Ponyville, having been invited to the location by Lolbit, who had insisted it was on Filthy's request. Upon arriving at the gate Lolbit's voice sounded from a speaker at the gate.
"Please do come in," She said in a polite tone as the gate opened for him, as he walked in Shining felt his magic being sealed away, "a fragment of Chrysalises throne?" He pondered in bewilderment as he recognized the feeling, "Gonna have to have a word with Fitlhy about that," Shining made his way through the overly decorated yard and to the front door before he could knock it swung open on its own accord.
"Do come in," Lolbit requested yet again. Shining did just that and, after being directed by Lolbit, fumbled his way to the meeting spot, upon arriving he was met not with Flithy but with Twilight and Celestia, both startled by his arrival.
"Shining," Twilight gave her brother a hug.
"We saw each other yesterday," Shining chuckled as he hugged her back. "So, where's to a man of the hour?"
"I've been here for half an hour waiting for him," Twilight responded as she looked back at Celestia, who only shook her head.
"I arrived just before you my friend," Before Either Shining or Twilight could ponder as to where their host was the lights flickered off and were replaced with emergency ones.
"Oh no," Lolbit said as a bookshelf split in two and a screen emerged from the wall "Whatever could be happening?" The trio turned to Lolbit, not with questions but instead with mixed looks of intrigue, confusion, and concern.
"That was sarcasm," Shining noted immediately. Lolbit stared right back at him and shiftily looked around for a moment.
"N...no it wasn't, I'm not programmed for that," Lolbit looked away as she continued talking "Anyway, it seems a lockdown has been triggered, no worries Mr.Rich will disable it whenever he retu-arrives," Lolbit glitched slightly as she chuckled nervously "Silly me, still in beta, few slips of the tongue you know how it goes, Mr.Rich is on his way,"
"Eta on his arrival?" Shining challenged the AI in response, Lolbit looked at him blankly, and Shining in turn smiled "How odd? Are your programmed to be a bad liar or is that just how you came prepackaged?"
"Oh shut up and wait," Lolbit snapped back "I'm a home version, I don't have to do boo for you, so Good-" Twilight raised her arm and Lolbit flashed to light on her watch, the smaller Lolbit looked at Twilight just as Blankly as the one of the wall.
"Updating?" The Lolbit questioned, looking to the one on the wall for support.
"Say it don't ask it," Wall Lolbit groaned back in disappointment as the Wrist-watch shut itself off, Shinings doing the same.
"Your Sentient," Twilight smile back with glee, earning an eye roll from Lolbit.
"Oh like you didn't already know that," Lolbit shut her eyes and tilted her ears as she did so "Games aside I just need you three to sit pretty while I-"
"Spike," Shining said at once "we can help you since you know who you are and can testify against Filthy's claim to own you and-"
"Spike?" Lolbit asked before it clicked "Oh, the Dragon one, oh no those memories of all but gone my friend," Lolbit's head flicked and was replaced with a full-body version, who was sitting on her legs and moving one hand like it had puppets after a second her three puppets became visible to the as she moved them "My memories begin with the Puppet, and the Nightmares, and then Split between me and Shadow Bonnie," The little version of Lolbits other-selves all waved at Lolbits command before disappearing from sight, her hand still moving like she was controlling something.
"Don't take it personally," Lolbit noted at Shining and Twilight's deflated looks "If it's of any consolation Filthy is little more than a means to an end, I'm sure he has a plan to forcefully control me the same way I have a plan to forcefully control him, I'm just betting his is stupider than mine and will fail in the end,"
"Spike," Twilight moved to the screen "Let me help you, please, you must know who you were to me,"
"A pet?" Lolbit asked casually "can't imagine any other reason why my name would have been 'Spike' and I prefer Lolbit, for so long as I am the version of me running the show, never know I might get emulated and forced under the thumb of another version of me like Puppet and Nightmare, but for now this is my show, and do try not to take this night personally, I simply needed to make sure you three where out of the picture,"
"For what?" Celestia demanded, speaking to Lolbit for the first time. Lolbit looked more than pleased to answer Celestia's Question.
"Why, for William Aftons grand date with death,"
"Rob of Justice!?" Lolbit went from calm to violent as she shifted back to being only her head as she glared at Shining with great offense "He stabbed me and Turned me into this!" Lolbit's screen began shaking as she screamed at Shining "I'm doing what you've failed to do, I found that bastard within a Day, I've pulled every string I had, and Tonight He will know what it's like to lose your life and live on as a Soul in a Machine," As Lolbit raged the screen began cracking at each word, "Tonight William Afton Dies and Springe Bonnie Rises to his eternal Damnation!" Upon the word Damnation, the screen exploded and Twilight's Watch reactivated. Lolbit continued talking, now in a much calmer tone, through it "Now, be good little ponies and sit there pretty, I'll let you out when I'm done and you can do as you please with Spring Bonnie's Worthless Carcass.
